I felt the exact same way and honestly what shifted things was separating the wedding from the marriage. We were stressing over a big banque…

Bought a resale last year, went through the COV drama. Few things that actually work: one, get your own valuation done first via HDB after y…

I did the math on my own career and hopping won, but with a big caveat. Over 8 years I switched three times and went from 4.2k to 11k a mont…

HR perspective, and the honest nuanced answer, two years per role in your 20s and early 30s is broadly acceptable now, especially in tech an…

HDB only allows ONE dog per flat and it must be an approved breed/small type, plus you must license it with the authority (used to be AVA, n…

Did the shielding for my mother two years ago, so I know the mechanics. The idea: just before 55, you invest most of your SA money into a sh…
